Crushed Concrete ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Thomson address and unloads right where you point.
The delivered price of crushed concrete depends on where you are, how much you order, and how far the truck travels. In Thomson, the local climate also plays a role. About 47 inches of precipitation each year means the ground stays wet through much of the winter, which affects both the work schedule and the base preparation.
Ordering by the ton lets you match the load to the project without overpaying for extra material. Gravel Monkey handles the logistics, so you only choose the size and the day. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Not every crushed concrete size works for every job. Using the wrong grade can lead to washout, poor compaction, or a surface that shifts. Here are the options for Thomson, with notes on what to avoid.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Crushed Concrete | General recycled base material | Not suitable as a finished surface; use as a base layer under pavers or asphalt. |
| 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Fine top dressing and leveling | Not suitable for heavy traffic; best as a leveling course for patios. |
| 3/4" Crushed Concrete | The standard compacting base size | Not suitable for drainage layers; use where compaction is needed. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Heavy base under drives and pads | Not suitable for shallow fills; needs adequate depth to lock together. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Deep fill and mud control | Not suitable for driveways alone; use with a finer topping. |
Match the project to the right crushed concrete size. The table below shows common applications and which product fits each one.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base on a budget | 3/4" Crushed Concrete | Compacted base for light to medium vehicles |
| Backfill behind a wall | 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Concrete | Fill behind retaining structures |
| Temporary site access | 2"-3" Crushed Concrete | Mud control layer, remove after use |
| Grade raising under a slab | Crushed Concrete | Raise level before pouring slab |
| Parking pad | 3/8" Crushed Concrete | Level surface over compacted base |
Thomson gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning are part of any crushed concrete job. About 68 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground matters.
With about 50 days a year below freezing, the work window is shorter than in warmer climates. Snowfall at roughly 0 inches means plowing damage to a loose surface is not a concern. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer depth does not need to be increased.
Soils mapped in the Thomson area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground takes in water at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
To estimate how many tons of crushed concrete your project requires, measure the length, width and planned depth in feet. Then use the material calculators on our site to convert that volume into tons. That gives you a reliable number before you order.
When you order crushed concrete from Gravel Monkey, you buy by the ton and choose a delivery date at checkout that is at least 3 business days out. The truck brings the material to your address in a dump load of 1 to 40-plus tons. Delivery pricing is calculated by your ZIP code, and qualifying orders get free delivery.

Plan for about 68 days a year that bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means the ground may be too soft for a truck on roughly one out of every five days. Scheduling delivery onto firm ground reduces the chance of ruts and compaction issues.
No, ground freezing is not a significant factor here. With about 50 days a year below freezing, the frost stays shallow and does not disrupt the base. You can order crushed concrete through the winter without worrying about frozen ground affecting the delivery.
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet to reach the drop point. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. You need to ensure the route is clear and wide enough.
Depth depends on the project and the soil. Thomson's soils are commonly well drained and take water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depths are usually enough. For a driveway, typical practice is to compact a base deep enough to handle the expected weight.
Whether you need a few tons for a driveway or a truckload for site prep, start with the material calculators to get your number. Then place your order online for delivery to your Thomson address. Visit the Thomson page for more details.
